Silvana

The third establishment from the owners of Yatenga French Bistro and Shrine World Music Venue, Silvana is their first offering in South Harlem. Nestled among the many bars and restaurants of Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Silvana offers a unique cuisine and experience to Harlem. It’s a social club of sorts—drop by in the morning for coffee and a chat with one of our friendly baristas, pop in for a quick work lunch with a client, bring a date to listen to live music in the evening, or share cocktails with old friends into the wee morning hours. Upstairs, Silvana is a cafe/boutique with an ever-changing selection of local & global goods. The cafe serves a full menu of Middle Eastern fare (such as falafel, shawarma & shakshuka), organic coffee & tea, as well as wine and beer. Sit at one of the vintage, communal-style wooden tables with an eclectic mix of families, students, freelancers & local characters taking advantage of the free wifi. Venturing downstairs, you’ll discover a speakeasy-style bar w/ a nightly lineup of live bands & a DJ, With cabaret-style tables near the stage and Moroccan-style tray tables are surrounded by long, low benches in the lounge- the perfect place to share a few dishes and drinks with new or old friends.
